Not sure I'd call it dead, maybe just adequate. Bad to me is the first gen BRZ haha. One of the best mods I ever did was cat delete with a tune on the E92 M3, it really woke it up at 3k RPM. One thing I can't complain about the BMW's is that the gearing is much better compared to the Porsches IMHO.

This is why I don't see myself owning a Cayman or GT4. At the very least, you get to enjoy top down experience in the Spyder and enjoy some noise at lower RPM
